Monday 8th July
Find out about GoodGym TaskForce
Report written by Kash
Monday the 8th of July was when the stars perfectly aligned and two food delivery vans landed flawlessly on time at St Mary’s Church to keep the regular volunteers and five GoodGymers occupied for over an hour with a mission to save nearly out-of-date food from going to the bin.
"It has never been so busy since I started coming here weekly. And that was three months ago!" - Martin.
The day was bright and full of secrets that were about to be exposed in the daylight.
The big team quickly dealt with two food deliveries, the latter being packed with a plethora of goodies saved from waste. Vegan rice pudding, easy peelers, pineapples, bananas, raw chicken and savoury pastries were numerous. After unloading the vans, there were still plenty of jobs for us to help organise the food:
"It's a real transformation!", observed Alan, seeing how the empty room transformed in an hour into a treasury of foodstuffs.
All the volunteers were welcome to help themselves to the abundance of rescued surplus food.
South Ealing Community Food Cupboard is a community project set up to reduce waste and make surplus food from the supermarkets available to anyone in the local area. Join the great cause with other GoodGymers each Monday morning!

The SEC Food Cupboard is a community project set up to reduce waste. A group of local volunteers receives/collects surplus food from the supermarkets (Eg via Felix Project) and makes it available to anyone and everyone from the local area. The SEC Food Cupboard is available to all – its aim is purely to reduce waste and everyone can help with that. Always Free! The selection of food items each week will vary according to what is surplus food on that day.
